I was thinking of going over it with bonding but it's €14 a bag of bonding here so fuk that I'll spray the hardwall onI'd prefer to use bonding over old hard wall
I'll run a soft brush over it. It will do for gripIt'll be murder to devil float, best off just using trowel to close in
I should haveDot and dab..
Hardwall is called hardcoat here. The only reason I'm using it there is nowhere to mix s&cThat would be the answer John, but you know what traditional minds they have here, surprised he's getting away with hardwall!

fuk me and I tot I was haven a bad day.We are floating thermalites with sand and cement today ,the boss doesn't like hardwall,three flights of stairs, all metal ,all need eml and bonding and skimming,they are very high and very awkward , hard to scaffold, needs younger bones ..
Not tooS&c on thermalites? Jaysus. That can't be great or easy!!
We use it 6/1On sites years ago for a certain builder there were no studs upstairs, they built them in 3 inch thermals so the whole house was floated s&c. A couple came off so they knocked it on the head. None of my dads did, he reckoned the other spreads were mixing it too strong & not letting it mix enough.
Went to lime lite then
Anything can blow . It's down to the applicator , browning used to blow quite a bit I rememberGood thing about h/wall on therms is it won't blow or crack, s/c on the other hand....
It's the applicator,some try 3/1 or 4/1 . 6/1 will be fine,Yeah we used to s+c 6/1 a lot of years ago never had a problem,but I went to a 8 year old estate and they all had problems with them cracked like hell and some walls coming off in sheets. It put us off ever rendering them again,hardwall or dot + dab only for me
Yes, it was £7.50 a bag in the early nightiesDid you ever use high suction browning on therms? That was the gear, you could lash a rake of it on before turning back to rule it. Gone though now I believe

Sand and c more inclined to blow outside due to changing temps and weather extremes
Thing about therms and any plaster is u need to make 2 passes then devil float. When the 1st pass starts to shrink, 2nd coat and when ready devil float. S/c float up as soon as poss. It's all about the float pulling the moisture back to the surface in my opinion
That's a crazy idea when hard wall is ideal for these blocks.We are floating thermalites with sand and cement today ,the boss doesn't like hardwall,three flights of stairs, all metal ,all need eml and bonding and skimming,they are very high and very awkward , hard to scaffold, needs younger bones ..
